VIA PRESS RELEASE | Inspiral Carpets have shared The Go! Team’s new remix of “This Is How It Feels” ahead of the release of The Complete Singles, an album compiling all of the Manchester band’s 24 singles to date. The Complete Singles will be available on double vinyl, and as a 3CD set with an exclusive remix bonus disc via Mute / BMG on 17 March 2023.
Clint Boon, talking about the remix said, “This is one of my favourite Inspirals remixes. Relatively faithful to the original but with lashings of all the magical elements we love about The Go! Team. I reckon the spirit of Joe Meek was in the studio when The Go! Team did this remix!”
The Complete Singles coincides with the start of a major UK tour. Kicking off in Northampton in March, the tour includes festivals and performances at Manchester’s Albert Hall and London’s Shepherds Bush Empire.
The Complete Singles sees all of the band’s singles remastered and available on one album for the first time. From 1988’s “Keep The Circle Around” to their latest single, 2015’s “Let You Down” featuring the unmistakable tones of John Cooper Clarke, the album will be available on double heavyweight “midnight licorice” black vinyl and as a 3CD set with an exclusive remix bonus disc that collates classic, rare and unreleased remixes from across their career alongside two new unreleased mixes, from The Go! Team and Martyn Walsh & Simon Lyon.
Inspiral Carpets introduced the mainstream to Madchester with some of the greatest pop anthems of the time and their unparalleled run of joyous singles saw them take their place in a Holy Triumvirate of Manchester bands (alongside the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays). This incredible run of singles spans decades and takes in “Joe,” “This Is How It Feels,” “Two World’s Collide,” “Move,” “Saturn 5,” “I Want You” (featuring Mark E Smith), and more recent singles “Spitfire” and “Let You Down.”
